“…The review included 37 studies on older people. In these studies, physical distancing measures are found to be effective in mitigating COVID-19 infection and deaths among the older people 17,18 . However, at the same time they are found to further predispose older people to greater risks of cardiovascular, autoimmune and neurocognitive diseases 14,19 .…”

Most governments have enacted physical or social distancing measures to control COVID-19 transmission. Yet little is known about the socio-economic trade-offs of these measures, especially for vulnerable populations, who are exposed to increased risks and are susceptible to adverse health outcomes. To examine the impacts of physical distancing measures on the most vulnerable in society, this scoping review screened 39,816 records and synthesised results from 265 studies worldwide documenting the negative impacts of physical distancing on older people, children/students, low-income populations, migrant workers, people in prison, people with disabilities, sex workers, victims of domestic violence, refugees, ethnic minorities, and people from sexual and gender minorities. We show that prolonged loneliness, mental distress, unemployment, income loss, food insecurity, widened inequality and disruption of access to social support and health services were unintended consequences of physical distancing that impacted these vulnerable groups and highlight that physical distancing measures exacerbated the vulnerabilities of different vulnerable populations.

“…La restricción de libre tránsito para el control de dicha enfermedad instó a los transportistas como a los peatones a que salgan de casa por razones estrictamente necesarias. Estas medidas se tradujeron en una disminución notable de muertes, principalmente violentas, como los AT (12) , los homicidios (13) y los accidentes ocupacionales (14) .…”

Introducción. Los accidentes de tránsito (AT) son un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial, se estiman 1,3 millones de muertes anuales, y en los sobrevivientes deja secuelas traumáticas que pueden disminuir la calidad de vida. De las víctimas, los peatones lesionados representan el 22%. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar los factores asociados al requerimiento de rehabilitación física de los peatones lesionados por algún AT en el territorio peruano. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte transversal con los datos secundarios brindados por el Centro Nacional de Epidemiología, Prevención y Control de Enfermedades (CDC Perú) por medio de fichas epidemiológicas. Resultados. Se analizaron 14 186 registros que involucran a peatones lesionados por atropellamiento en carretera por algún vehículo motorizado entre el 2016 y el 2021. El 87,89% de las víctimas no requirieron rehabilitación posterior al suceso. Existe una mayor probabilidad de rehabilitación si el lesionado tiene una mayor edad y si la hora del accidente fue entre las 00:00 y 05:59 horas del día. Existe una menor probabilidad de rehabilitación si el accidente lo ocasiona un motocarro. Conclusiones. Existe una gran cantidad de accidentados jóvenes y adultos, sin embargo, la edad mayor se comporta como un factor asociado a la necesidad de rehabilitación, así mismo, el tipo de carretera y el tipo de vehículo causante influyen en el desenlace de la víctima.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 outbreak and the community mitigation strategies implemented to reduce new SARS-CoV-2 infections can be regarded as powerful stressors with negative consequences on people's mental health. Although it has been shown that negative emotional symptoms subside during lockdown, it is likely the existence of inter-individual differences in stress, anxiety and depression trajectories throughout lockdown.ObjectivesWe aimed to cluster participants' according to their trajectories of stress, anxiety and depression scores throughout lockdown, and identify the sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors that may distinguish the subjects included in the different clusters.MethodsFrom March 23, 2020, to May 31, 2020, participants completed weekly online questionnaires on sociodemographic information (age, sex, education level, and employment status), psychological functioning (DASS-21, NEO-FFI-20), and clinical data (psychiatric disorders, psychiatric medication, physical disorders). Data regarding smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and time spent daily looking for COVID-19-related information were also collected. Stress, anxiety and depression trajectories were determined using latent class mixed models.ResultsA total of 2040 participants answered the survey at baseline and 603 participants answered all surveys. Three groups (“Resilient,” “Recovered,” and “Maladaptive”) with distinct mental health trajectories were identified. Younger participants, women, participants with lower education level, not working, studying, diagnosed with a mental disorder, taking psychiatric medication, smokers, those who spent more time consuming COVID-19-related information and those with higher neuroticism tended to cluster in the “Maladaptive” group, placing them at higher risk of persistent negative emotional symptoms during compulsory confinement.ConclusionAccordingly, a tailored approach to emotional suffering for vulnerable subjects during the COVID-19 and future pandemics must be devised.
